Oh my god it’s September. And what’s more, today actually feels like it might be fall — unlike last week’s gross, humid, sticky end to summer. I can’t quite believe we’re jumped head first into a new month, but my disbelief won’t stop time moving forward, so why not jump on the bandwagon? This week we’re talking about string cheese, Grandparent’s Day, and of course, Back To School Season. I promise not to assign any homework if you promise to keep being witty and insightful on Twitter. Deal?

But did you eventually eat a string cheese? Because then I feel like it would immediately become a good day.

Perfect for those nights you feel like pizza without the guilt (though who am I kidding — I never feel guilt post-pizza…it’s just too good!) I personally can’t wait to make the zucchini pizza boats.
